A&P Defined• Anatomy – (ana = up, tomy= a cutting) is
the science of structure and the relationships among structures.
• Physiology – (physio= nature, logy= study of) is the science of body functions, or how the body works!!

Levels, con’t
• Each of these levels works together to maintain homeostasis within human beings.
• Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Calcium, and others are essential for maintaining life.
Chemical Level

Basic structural and functional unit of an organism.
Groups of cells, working together in some specialized function. Four types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues.
Recognizable shape, made of two or more tissues, specific function.

Principal Systems of the Human Body
1. Integumentary System – skin, hair, fingernails2. Skeletal System3. Muscular System4. Nervous System5. Endocrine System – glands and tissues that produce hormones6. Cardiovascular System7. Lymphatic and Immune System – spleen, lymph, tonsils8. Respiratory System9. Digestive System10. Urinary System – kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra11. Reproductive Systems

Life Processes• Metabolism: the sum of all chemical processes
that occur in the body.• Responsiveness: how a body detects and responds
to changes in its internal or external environment.• Movement: motion of the whole body, organs,
single cells, even organelles. • Growth: increase in body size; the size of cells,
number of cells, or amount of material surrounding cells.
• Differentiation: process when unspecialized cells become specialized cells. i.e. egg cell into you!
• Reproduction: formation of new cells for growth, repair or replacement or making someone new.
![Page 13: Chapter 1 Organization of the Human Body](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816032550346895dcf5239/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
HOMEOSTASIS• The maintenance of a relatively stable
internal environment despite changes both internal and external conditions.
• Homeostasis is required in order for the systems and organs within the human body to function effectively and work optimally.
• Large part of this system is the interstitial fluid, which surrounds body cells, and should be kept at an internal 37 degrees C
![Page 14: Chapter 1 Organization of the Human Body](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816032550346895dcf5239/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Homeostasis con’t• Controlled mainly by the nervous and
endocrine systems.
• Any disruption that causes a change in a controlled condition is called a stimulus.
• Homeostasis is maintained by means of feedback mechanisms.
![Page 15: Chapter 1 Organization of the Human Body](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816032550346895dcf5239/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Feedback Systems!!
The components of a feedback system are:
CONTROL CENTER
RECEPTOR
EFFECTOR
![Page 16: Chapter 1 Organization of the Human Body](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816032550346895dcf5239/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Negative Feedback Systems
• A negative feedback system reverses a change in a controlled condition in order to maintain homeostasis.
• Most feedback systems in the body are negative!
![Page 18: Chapter 1 Organization of the Human Body](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816032550346895dcf5239/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Positive Feedback Systems
• A positive feedback system reinforces the initial change in the controlled condition.
• If positive feedback should occur, its results are usually destructive or deadly. However, a few are beneficial such as contractions in childbirth, ovulation and blood clotting.

Figure 1.03 Homeostasis of Blood Pressure
Homeostasis of Blood Pressure
![Page 20: Chapter 1 Organization of the Human Body](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816032550346895dcf5239/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Homeostasis of Blood Pressure• In order to sustain life your blood pressure
needs to maintained at an appropriate pressure. This depends on the rate and strength of the heartbeat. i.e. if the heart beats faster, more blood pushes into the arteries and elevates the pressures.
• Increased pressure is detected by baroreceptors (pressure sensitive nerve cells located in the walls of certain blood vessels.) These respond by sending impulses to the brain.
For Example:
![Page 21: Chapter 1 Organization of the Human Body](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816032550346895dcf5239/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Homeostasis in BP con’t• The brain will then send nerve impulses to
the heart and certain other blood vessels to slow the heartrate, thereby decreasing BP.
• This cycle is called a FEEDBACK SYSTEM.• A feedback system involves a cycle of events
in which the information about body conditions is continually monitored and fed back into a central control region.
![Page 22: Chapter 1 Organization of the Human Body](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816032550346895dcf5239/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Homeostasis Finished
• Aging is a normal process characterized by a progressive decline in the body’s ability to restore homeostasis.
• The changes associated with aging are apparent in all body systems.

Anatomical Terms• Directional terms are always
given in regard to the body in ANATOMICAL POSITION.
• In anatomical position, the subject stands erect facing the observer, with the head level and the eyes facing forward. The feet are flat on the floor and directed forward and the arms are at the sides with palms turned forward.
![Page 26: Chapter 1 Organization of the Human Body](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816032550346895dcf5239/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

• SUPERIOR – towards the head, or the upper part of a structure
• INFERIOR – towards the feet, or the lower part of a structure
• ANTERIOR/VENTRAL – nearer to or at the front of the body
• POSTERIOR/DORSAL – nearer to or at the back of the body
• MEDIAL – nearer to the midline or midsagittal plane• LATERAL – farther from the body midline or
midsagittal plane

Anatomical Terms con’t• INTERMEDIATE – between two structures• PROXIMAL – nearer to the attachment of a limb
to the trunk• DISTAL – farther from the attachment of a limb
to the trunk• SUPERFICIAL – toward or on the body surface• DEEP – away from the surface of the body

Body Planes• BODY PLANES
–Sections that are imaginary flat surfaces that pass through the body parts
Figure 1.06 Planes of the Human Body
![Page 30: Chapter 1 Organization of the Human Body](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816032550346895dcf5239/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Body Planes• SAGITTAL PLANE
– Vertical plane that divides the body or an organ into RIGHT and LEFT sides. If the right and left sides are equal in size, it is called a MIDSAGITTAL plane and runs through the midline of the body or organs. If the body or organ is divided into unequal right and left sides, the plane is called a PARASAGITTAL plane.
![Page 31: Chapter 1 Organization of the Human Body](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816032550346895dcf5239/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Body Planes• FRONTAL
(CORONAL) PLANE– Divides the body or
organ into anterior and posterior positions.
TRANSVERSE PLANE
Divides the body into superior and inferior positions.

Body Cavities• CAVITIES are spaces within the body that
contain, protect, separate and support internal organs.
• Two principal cavities are the DORSAL and VENTRAL cavities.
![Page 34: Chapter 1 Organization of the Human Body](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816032550346895dcf5239/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Body Cavities• The DORSAL CAVITY is subdivided
into the CRANIAL CAVITY, which is formed by the cranial (skull) bones and contains the brain, and the VERTEBRAL (spinal) CANAL which is formed by the bones of the vertebral column and contains the spinal cord.
![Page 35: Chapter 1 Organization of the Human Body](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816032550346895dcf5239/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Body Cavities• The VENTRAL CAVITY is
subdivided by the diaphragm into:– the THORACIC CAVITY, which
contains the heart, lungs, associated blood vessels, and respiratory organs
–the ABDOMINOPELVIC CAVITY, which lies inferior to the diaphragm
